Not only are there so many competing webcomics, but there are far more entertainment options on the internet compared to 10 years ago. Web comics are having the same problem as web print - faster internet speeds mean everything is moving over to video (youtube, etc.)
All the good web comics still updating are the ones that came to maturity years ago. The really interesting new web comics are either buried under the noise or are abandoned because the creators can never afford make that jump to going full time. What you end up with is a bunch of new web comics that are pseudo-pornography because that's the only thing that gets clicks.
